CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Taiwan Patent Application No. 104117273 filed on May 29, 2015, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.

FIELD

The subject matter herein generally relates to electrical connection structures and a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate that includes an electrical connection structure.

BACKGROUND

A thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) includes a TFT array substrate, a color filter over the TFT LCD, and a liquid crystal layer between the TFT array substrate and the color filter. The TFT array substrate can control rotations of liquid crystals in the liquid crystal layer and thus display a picture or shape through the color filter. The TFT array substrate includes electronic components such as thin film transistors, capacitors, connection pads, and connection lines. After the electronic components are formed, an electrically insulating cover is formed to cover the electronic components. Thereafter, the electrical insulating cover is subjected to light exposure through a mask. The light exposure can impart optical qualities to the surface of the electrically insulating cover which are less than optimal, which adversely affects performance and reliability of the TFT array substrate.

FIG. 1 illustrates an electrical connection structure 10 comprising a substrate 100, a buffer layer 105, an interference layer 108, a connection pad 118, an electrically insulating layer 122, a connection line 146, and an electrically insulating cover 152.

The buffer layer 105 is formed on the substrate 100, the interference layer 108 is formed on the buffer layer 105, and the connection pad 118 is formed on the interference layer 108. The electrically insulating layer 122 is formed to cover the interference layer 108 and the connection pad 118. A connection hole 172 is defined in the electrically insulating layer 122 at a position corresponding to the connection pad 118. The connection line 146 is formed on the electrically insulating layer 122. The connection line 146 extends through the connection hole 172 to electrically connect with the connection pad 118. An electrical connection unit comprises the connection line 146 and the connection pad 118. The electrically insulating cover 152 is formed to cover the electrically insulating layer 122 and the connection line 146. A surface of the electrically insulating cover 152 is a flat surface away from the substrate 100.

The interference layer 108 is able to reflect light emitted from a first side of the interference layer 108 away from the substrate 100 towards the interference layer 108 and transmit light emitted from a second side of the interference layer 108 adjacent to the substrate 100 towards the interference layer 108. The connection line 146 can reflect light. A reflectance of the first side of the interference layer 108 is equal to a reflectance of the connection line 146. The interference layer 108 occupies an area which is not less than an area occupied by the electrical connection unit. In this embodiment, the interference layer 108 occupies an area which is not less than an area occupied by the connection line 146. Moreover, the interference layer 108 occupies a size of area which is between one and ten times greater in size than the area occupied by the electrical connection unit. In this embodiment, the interference layer 108 occupies a size of area which is between one and ten times greater in size than the area occupied by the connection line 146.

In other embodiments, the buffer layer 105 can be omitted, and the interference layer 108 can be directly formed on the substrate 100.

According to this embodiment, the substrate 100 can be made of transparent material such as glass, quartz, or organic polymer. The buffer layer 105 can be made of transparent and electrically insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride. The interference layer 108 can be made of a polymer comprising niobium oxide and silicon dioxide (Nb₂O₅-SiO₂). The connection pad 118 can be made of metal such as aluminum, titanium, molybdenum, tantalum, or copper. The connection line 146 can be made of metal such as aluminum, titanium, molybdenum, tantalum, or copper. The electrically insulating layer 122 can be made of transparent and insulating material such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride. The electrically insulating cover 152 is a passivation layer and can be made of organic material such as polycarbonate (PC) or benzocyclobutene (BCB).

The electrical connection structure 10 comprises the connection line 146 and the interference layer 108. The reflectance of the first region of the interference layer 108 is equal to the reflectance of the connection line 146, and the area occupied by the interference layer 108 is not less in size than the area occupied by the connection line 146. The interference layer 108 interferes with the light reflected by the connection line 146, thus when the electrically insulating cover 152 is exposed to light irradiation, a region of the electrically insulating cover 152 corresponding to the connection line 146 receives a lesser irradiation of light. Thus, the surface of the electrically insulating cover 152 can be kept largely flat and smooth with less of the roughness which otherwise affects the optical qualities.

The second interference layer 108 b is able to reflect light emitted from a first side of the second interference layer 108 b away from the substrate 100 towards the second interference layer 108 b and transmit light emitted from a second side of the second interference layer 108 b adjacent to the substrate 100 towards the second interference layer 108 b. The connection line 146 can reflect light. A reflectance of the first side of each of the interference layers 108 a, 108 b is equal to a reflectance of the connection line 146. In this embodiment, the first interference layer 108 a occupies a size of area which is not less than the size of area occupied by the connection line 146. The second interference layer 108 b occupies an area which is not less in size than the area occupied by the channel layer 132, the source electrode 142, and the drain electrode 144 combined. Moreover, the first interference layer 108 a occupies a size of area which is between one and ten times greater in size than the area occupied by the connection line 146. The second interference layer 108 b occupies a size of area which is between one and ten times greater in size than the area occupied by the channel layer 132, the source electrode 142, and the drain electrode 144 combined.

In other embodiments, the buffer layer 105 can be omitted, and the interference layer 108 can be directly formed on the substrate 100.

In this embodiment, the substrate 100 can be made of transparent material such as glass, quartz, or organic polymer.

Thus, roughness on the surface of the electrically insulating cover 152 can be reduced.

In more detail, block 201 includes forming the buffer layer 105 on the substrate 100, forming the interference layer 108 on the buffer layer 105 and then forming a metal layer on the interference layer 108. The metal layer is then patterned through photolithography under a yellow light environment to form the connection pad 118.

According to this embodiment, the substrate 100 can be made of transparent material such as glass, quartz, or organic polymer. The buffer layer 105 can be made of transparent and electrically insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride. The interference layer 108 can be made of a polymer comprising niobium oxide and silicon dioxide (Nb₂O₅-SiO₂). The interference layer 108 is able to reflect light emitted from a first side of the interference layer 108 away from the substrate 100 towards the interference layer 108 and can transmit light emitted from a second side of the interference layer 108 adjacent to the substrate 100 towards the interference layer 108. The connection pad 118 can be made of metal such as aluminum, titanium, molybdenum, tantalum, or copper.

It can be understood that the buffer layer 105 can be omitted; then the interference layer 108 can be directly formed on the substrate 100.

Also referring to FIG. 5, at block 202, an electrically insulating layer 122 is formed to cover the interference layer 108 and the connection pad 118. A connection hole 172 is defined in electrically insulating layer 122 at a position corresponding to the connection pad 118.

In more detail, the connection hole 172 is formed through photolithography to the electrically insulating layer 122 in a yellow light environment.

In this embodiment, the electrically insulating layer 122 can be made of transparent and insulating material such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride.

Also referring to FIG. 6, at block 203, a connection line 146 is formed on the electrically insulating layer 122. The connection line 146 extends through the connection hole 172 to electrically connect with the connection pad 118.

The light impinges on the connection line 146 through the electrically insulating cover 152, and the light impinges on the interference layer 108 through the electrically insulating cover 152 and the electrically insulating layer 122. The connection line 146 and the interference layer 108 can reflect the light to the electrically insulating cover 152 respectively. According to the reflectance of the connection line 146 is equal to the reflectance of the first region of the interference layer 108, the light reflected by the interference layer 108 and the connection line 146 can interfere with each other. The electrically insulating cover 152 has less light reflected from the interference layer 108 and the connection line 146. Thus, the surface of the electrically insulating cover 152 can be kept largely flat and smooth with less of the roughness which otherwise affects the optical qualities.

A channel layer 132 is formed on the electrically insulating layer 122 at a location corresponding to the gate electrode 114. A connection hole 172 is defined in electrically insulating layer 122 at a position corresponding to the connection pad 118 whereby the connection pad 118 is exposed through the connection hole 172.

To form the channel layer 132 and the connection hole 172, first a semiconductor layer is applied on the electrically insulating layer 122. Then the semiconductor layer is processed by photolithography under a yellow light environment to form the channel layer 132. The photolithography also patterns the electrically insulating layer 122 to form the connection hole 172.

In this embodiment, the electrically insulating layer 122 can be made of transparent and insulating material such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride. The channel layer 132 can be made of semiconductor material such as metal oxide, amorphous silicon, or polycrystalline silicon (also called polysilicon).

Also referring to FIG. 13, at block 304, a source electrode 142, a drain electrode 144 and a connection line 146 are formed on the electrically insulating layer 122. The source electrode 142 and the drain electrode 144 are formed on the electrically insulating layer 122 to cover two opposite ends of the channel layer 132. The connection line 146 extends through the connection hole 172 to electrically connect with the connection pad 118.

In more detail, block 304 includes forming a metal layer on the electrically insulating layer 122 and the channel layer 132. The metal layer is then patterned through photolithography under a yellow light environment to form the source electrode 142, the drain electrode 144 and the connection line 146.

In this embodiment, the source electrode 142, the drain electrode 144 and the connection line 146 can be made of metal such as aluminum, titanium, molybdenum, tantalum, or copper. The first interference layer 108 a can reflect light falling on a first region of the first interference layer 108 a away from the substrate 100. The second interference layer 108 b can reflect light falling on a first region of the second interference layer 108 b away from the substrate 100. A reflectance of the first region of each of the interference layers 108 a, 108 b is equal to a reflectance of the source electrode 142, the drain electrode 144 and the connection line 146.

Also referring to FIG. 14, at block 305, an electrically insulating cover 152 is formed on the source electrode 142, the channel layer 132, the drain electrode 144, the connection line 146 and the electrically insulating layer 122. A surface of the electrically insulating cover 152 is a flat surface away from the substrate 100.

In this embodiment, the electrically insulating cover 152 is a passivation layer and can be made of organic material such as polycarbonate (PC) or benzocyclobutene (BCB).

Also referring to FIG. 15, at block 306, the electrically insulating cover 152 is exposed to light irradiation through a mask 300. The mask 300 has a first translucent region 310 located corresponding to a region of the electrically insulating cover 152 in which the drain electrode 144 is formed, and a second translucent region 320 located corresponding to a region of the electrically insulating cover 152 beside the first translucent region 310. A transmittance of the second translucent region 320 is lower than a transmittance of the first translucent region 310.

After being irradiated by light which can be ultraviolet light, the part of the electrically insulating cover 152 which corresponds to the first translucent region 310 and can absorb the highest intensity of light irradiation can be removed by a photoresist developer (not shown). The region of the electrically insulating cover 152 corresponding to the second translucent region 320 of the mask 300 is passivated to increase its transmittance. The light impinges on the connection line 146 through the electrically insulating cover 152, and the light impinges on the first interference layer 108 a through the electrically insulating cover 152 and the electrically insulating layer 122. The connection line 146 and the first interference layer 108 a can reflect the light to the electrically insulating cover 152 respectively. According to the reflectance of the connection line 146 is equal to the reflectance of the first region of the first interference layer 108 a, the light reflected by the first interference layer 108 a and the connection line 146 can interfere with each other. The electrically insulating cover 152 has less light reflected from the first interference layer 108 a and the connection line 146. Thus, roughness on the surface of the electrically insulating cover 152 can be reduced. Accordingly, the electrically insulating cover 152 has less light reflected from the second interference layer 108 b, the source electrode 142 and the drain electrode 144. The surface of the electrically insulating cover 152 can be kept flat and smooth.

Referring to FIG. 16, at block 307, a contact hole 174 is defined in the electrically insulating cover 152 at a position corresponding to the first translucent region 310. A pixel electrode 162 is formed on the electrically insulating cover 152 and extends into the contact hole 174 to electrically couple with the drain electrode 144.

In more detail, by the photoresistor developer, the contact hole 174 is formed in the electrically insulating cover 152 at the position corresponding to the first translucent region 310. The pixel electrode 162 is formed by applying a transparent, electrically conductive layer on the electrically insulating cover 152 and then patterning the transparent, electrically conductive layer by photolithography to obtain the pixel electrode 162. The pixel electrode 162 can be made of indium tin oxide (ITO). Accordingly, manufacturing of the TFT array substrate 1 is complete.
